I hope you do get some for yourself. To me it's a perfect fabric for this because it has lots of designs and lots of colors. Some of my blocks are predominately pink, some are predominately purple. It's fun!

Look at the pictures in the tutorials for a better explanation. :D Cutie's tutorials will walk you through the entire process, but I put some pictures below for a quick reference.
